Evaluate how an organization measures HCM and what it can do to improve the measurements. To do so, complete the following:

  • Select an organization with which you are very familiar. You may choose your current organization, one you have worked for in the past, or a different one.
  • Create the business context by providing a brief overview of the business goals of the organization.
  • Identify at least one workforce management practice and one workforce development practice employed in the organization. You may choose the practices from the Workforce Management and Workforce Development Practices document linked in the Resources under the Capella Resources heading or select your own.
  • Describe how the two practices support the organization’s goals.
  • Identify how the organization measures alignment of the two practices to the organizational goals, and what KPIs are used.
  • Evaluate the organization’s measurement strategy. Does it measure what the organization should be measuring? Why or why not?
  • Recommend at least one way to improve the measurement strategy, based on your evaluation. Support your recommendation with evidence from credible recent sources.

Note: If your organization does not currently measure workforce management or workforce development practices, choose one of each types of practice from the Workforce Management and Workforce Development Practices document, and provide a rationale for how the organization would benefit from measuring these two practices and the appropriate measurements.

Your evaluation should follow a logical structure and be evidence based. Follow the MEAL Plan for Academic Papers (linked in the left-hand navigation menu) to help guide the organization of your response.
